A New Old Classic - Part 5: The Deck is Out
6 10 2008The deckis out of the mold and it turned out well. Here are a few pix of the new deck.
The deck fresh out of the mold. The paper cockpit template is still stuck to the part.
The bow portion of the deck. I’ve always loved the lines of this boat. There don’t seem to be any major flaws. Cool.
The new deck laid on top of the new hull, starting to look like a boat. Tradition dictates that you stand there and make whoosing, splashing noises at this point.
I peeled back a bit of the mold release film to get a look at the real surface of the deck. It doesn’t show up that well in the photo, but it’s a beautiful deep purple with lots of metalflake sparklies.
Next step: fabricating a custom cockpit rim.
